Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX Nov. 5 "A meeting OF

ernor Ross being present, to inquire into
the rumors concerning the dome. Fol-
lowing were the results: A proposition
about blinds was withdrawn. sugges-
ton that more support be sdded to GER
tain iron beams that will have to bear
great weight was deferred. A propo-
sition of Superintendent Walker
to substitute galvanized iron
for the plsstering at certain points was
rejected. The matter Of the dome and
the letter of Captain Walsh, Iste land
commissioner and former member of the
board, were brought up. lengthy dis
cussion ensued. Architect LebrSp Of
New York having telegraphed Govel .or
Ross he could not come on -
once, it was agreed by the board for Gov
e-nor Ross TO telegraph the supervising
architect st Washington to recommend
three architects with whom the board
can correspond, with view to employ
ing them to inspect the building and
point out any defects, if
any. Governor L. Walker, superin-
tendent or construction on the part
of the state, and Commissioners Nc
Laurin and Lee, were confident the work
on the building from base to dome had
been done according to the plans and
| specifications which had been faithfully
! carried out, and they give it as their pro-
! fessional opinion that the building is as
substantial SIS any structure of its magni-
| tude on the continent, that there is not 8
crack in it from north to south or east 10
west, except q small one in one Of the
arches, into which lady's pin could not
be driven, and that it can in no way what
ever affect the stability Of the build

msnded corps from Virginia, and his

cents with slight recovery at the
close. Most Of tie traders here being
bears are credited with making profits
out OF the break, some Of them very
handsome ones, but the probabilities
are that no great sum has either been
lost or won. Only few were heavy
dealers, but the crowd generally were
on the winning side and every an
nounccment of further break was
greeted with apparent manifestations
OF pleasure, and was taken az so much
more to their credit. During the more
rapid part of the break business was
practically suspended, everybody's at

watching the black board.
